A shortened NFL preseason benefits 2020 Philadelphia Eagles

Vice president and general manager Howie Roseman and company came into the 2020 offseason with the plan to make the Philadelphia Eagles roster younger. The plan certainly wasn’t executed to perfection, but looking at how things turned out, that was probably for the best.

According to a July 1st report by ESPN Staff Writer Kevin Seifert, the NFL is interested in cutting the preseason in half, from four games down to two, with teams playing their preseason Week 2 and Week 3 opponents. That was followed by a collaborative report by NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo and Tom Pelissero stating that “some members of the NFL Players Association are in favor of playing no preseason games ahead of the 2020 NFL season”.
